The present invention relates to a ship side light used to be mounted on the vessel, in more detail by using an LED module consisting of the LED unit of two colors red / green, and using a control module for controlling the lighting angle and lighting color of the LED module The present invention relates to a ship side using an LED that can be mounted on a double-acting vessel capable of moving forward and backward.

In general, ship's side lights are attached to the left and right side ends of the mid-deck of the ship.

These side lights are important for maritime traffic safety, allowing an observer located away from the ship (the observer may be an on-shore observer or another ship on the sea) to predict the direction of movement of the ship. It is an indication means.

The ship's side lamps are mounted on the left and right sides of the ship's mid-deck and have different colors. When operating a ship, the side light located on the left side of the ship's center line (CL), ie the port side ship side light, should light red.The side light on the right side, ie, the side light is greener than the star. The lamp should light up. These left and right color classifications are to be in accordance with the International Maritime Collision Prevention Regulations. In particular, these side lights play an important role in the case of double acting vessels (DAVs) capable of both forward navigation and astern navigation.

1 is a conceptual diagram showing a ship equipped with a ship side light according to the prior art.

As shown in FIG. 1, the vessel 1 is a double-acting forward or backward navigation type. Two side lights 12, 14, 16, and 18 are attached to the mid-deck left and right side ends of the ship 1, respectively. That is, the 1st side light 12 attached to the left front row of the said ship 1, the 2nd side light 14 mounted to the right front row of the said ship 1, and the said ship The 3rd ship side light 16 attached to the right rear row of (1), and the 4th ship side light 18 attached to the left rear row of the said ship 1 are attached.

At this time, the first side light 12 mounted on the heat transfer is red, the second side light 14 is green, the third side light 16 mounted on the rear heat is red, and the fourth side light. The lamp 18 is green.

If the ship 1 is sailing forward, the first side light 12 and the second ship side so that an observer located in front of the ship 1 can grasp the forward movement of the ship 1. The lamp 14 is used to illuminate red and green in front of the vessel, respectively.

On the contrary, when the ship 1 is sailing backward, the third side lamp 16 and the third light are provided so that an observer located behind the ship 1 can grasp the backward movement of the ship 1. 4 Use the side lights 18 to illuminate the red and green light to the rear of the ship, respectively.

In addition, the side light of the ship according to the prior art is of the double bulb type (Double bulb type), as shown in FIG. Referring to FIG. 2, the ship's side lights 12, 14, 16, and 18 have a transparent housing 22, an intermediate partition 30 that divides the housing 22 into two upper and lower sections, and the housing 22. The upper cap 28 and the lower support 32 to seal the top and bottom of the, and the upper incandescent bulb 24 and the lower incandescent bulb 26 are mounted to the upper and lower two areas of the housing 22, respectively.

In this case, the reason why the two upper and lower incandescent bulbs 24 and 26 are used in the side lights 12, 14, 16 and 18 of the ship is that when one is damaged, the other one can compensate for the damage. .

Therefore, a total of eight incandescent lamps are used for the side lights 12, 14, 16, 18 of the ship according to the prior art.

However, such incandescent lamps are easily broken even under a stable environment, have a short lifespan, and are frequently damaged by various mechanical shocks and vibrations, requiring frequent maintenance.

Recently, LED (Light Emitting Diode) has appeared as a means to replace such incandescent lamps. Early LEDs could only be used in display devices, for example on / off and matrix-addressed indicators, but LEDs have higher brightness efficiency than incandescent lamps today. It became.

Such LEDs have a significant impact resistance compared to conventional incandescent lamps, and LEDs have an advantage of having a long operating time of 200,000 to 1,000,000 hours compared to approximately 1,000 to 2,000 hours of operating time of incandescent lamps.

Therefore, there has been a demand for ships using LEDs that are strong against impact, long life, low power consumption, and excellent brightness, without using incandescent lamps according to the prior art. .

The purpose of the present invention devised to solve the above problems is to use a LED on the side of the ship that used the conventional incandescent light bulb, more shock-resistant, longer life, less power consumption, excellent ship brightness It is a technical task to provide the side lights.

In order to achieve the above technical problem, the ship side light using the LED according to the present invention, the ship side light installed on the left and right sides of the mid-deck of the ship, the upper case of the transparent waterproof material; An LED module mounted inside the upper case and configured as an LED unit having two colors of red / green uniformly distributed; A control module for selectively lighting the LED module; And a lower case built in the control module and coupled to a lower end of the upper case, wherein the control module is distributed within a predetermined whistle range visible from the forward direction of the vessel among the LED units. In addition, there is provided a ship side light using the LED, characterized in that only selectively lights up the LED unit corresponding to the color to be lit on each side of the ship.

At this time, the control module is a power input for receiving the available power of the ship; A rectifier for rectifying the AC voltage applied from the power input terminal into a DC voltage; A constant voltage controller configured to adjust a DC voltage applied from the rectifier to an appropriate voltage for turning on the LED module; And a controller for selectively controlling the lighting of the LED module by using an appropriate voltage applied from the constant voltage controller.

The power input terminal may further include an earth leakage detector configured to detect a leakage current during power input.

In addition, the controller receives a forward or backward signal of the ship from the control panel in the steering room, and processes such a signal with a pre-entered logic program to control the lighting whistle range and color of the LED module. According to the International Maritime Collision Prevention Regulation, when a ship is sailing forward or backward, a red light is lit on the left side of the ship's direction, ie port (referred to as "PORT"), regardless of bow or stern. The green light shall be lit on the right side of the ship, i.e. starboard (called "STARBOARD"). To this end, the control panel in the steering chamber determines whether the ship is sailing forward or backward, and applies the determined signal to the controller on the control module. From this signal, the controller controls the LED module located at the port side of the ship to distribute red within a predetermined whistle range (e.g., 112.5 degrees outward relative to the direction parallel to the ship's centerline). Turn on the LED unit. At the same time, the controller controls the LED module located in the starboard of the ship, and the green LED is distributed within a predetermined whistle range (for example, 112.5 degrees outward relative to the direction parallel to the ship's centerline). Turn on the unit. It is possible to express both colors of left and right strings according to the direction of ship with only two LED modules composed of two color LED units of red / green color. You can.

In addition, the LED module is preferably connected to the LED unit in parallel. This is to allow the remaining LED units to operate smoothly even if a few of the LED units configured in the LED module are damaged.

At this time, it is preferable that a packing having a waterproof and antifouling function is inserted into a coupling portion of the upper case and the lower case. The ship's side lamp using the LED according to the present invention is used for a ship sailing the sea, and in order to use the LED module and the control module, which are precision electronic products, without damage for a long time, it is possible to prevent inundation due to seawater and contamination due to sea wind. Should be To this end, a packing having a waterproof, antifouling, and moisture proof function is inserted into a coupling portion of the upper case and the lower case.

First, before looking at the ship's side light using the LED according to the present invention, let's look at the signal regulations related to the ship's side light according to the International Sea Conflict Regulations (COLREG, 1972).

The ship's side lamps are lights mounted on ships, also called port lights, and are green and red lights that are provided so that they can be projected from the direction of the ship's bow to 22.5 degrees after the transverse direction of each ship. The ship's side light is installed at the right end and left end of the ship, respectively, and the range of light is 112.5 degrees to the right and 112.5 degrees to the left in the horizontal direction from the bow. These ranges are the same as those of the mast government, ranging from the forward line to 22.5 degrees.

At night, each side is color-coded to identify the right and left side of the ship and at the same time to clarify the direction of the ship. The right side light is green and the left side light is red. And their equalization should be continuous, without flickering.

In this way, within the viewing distance of the ship's side light, the opponent's ship can identify the right side and the left side of the ship by the color of the ship's side light, and based on this, the navigational relationship between each ship, that is, the situation of encountering or You can judge the crossover state.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying Figures 3 to 4 will be described in detail with respect to the ship side using the LED according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

In the drawings, Figure 3 is a side view showing an embodiment of the ship side light using the LED according to the present invention, Figure 4 is a block diagram for explaining the operating relationship of the embodiment shown in FIG.

3 and 4, the ship side lamp 100 using the LED according to the present invention is mounted on the upper case 102 and the upper case 102 of a transparent waterproof material, the red / green An LED module 110 composed of two color LED units 112 and 114, a control module 120 for selectively lighting the LED module 110, and the control module 120 are built in the upper case. A lower case 104 is coupled to the lower end, and the packing 106 is inserted into the coupling portion of the upper case 102 and the lower case 104.

The upper case 102 and the lower case 104 is made of a material having a basically water-resistant performance for use in ships sailing the sea, in addition to the upper case ( In order to protect the interior 102 and the lower case 104, it is desirable to have antifouling and moisture proof performance.

Inside the upper case 102, the LED module 110, which is formed by uniformly distributing the LED units 112 and 114 of two colors red and green, is mounted. Therefore, the upper case 102 should be able to transmit the lighting of the LED module 110 to the outside, it is preferable to have a transparent transparent material.

On the contrary, the lower case 104 does not have a built-in LED module 110 to be turned on, and since only the control module 120 constituting the circuit is built in, the lower case 104 does not need to be a light-transmissive material. It may have only antifouling and moisture proof performance.

The upper end of the lower case 104 is coupled to the lower end of the upper case 102. At this time, the coupling portion of the upper case 102 and the lower case 104 is packed with waterproof, antifouling and moisture proof so as to prevent the inundation or contamination by sea water or sea wind. 106 is inserted. In the present invention, the packing 106 is made of a silicon material, but in another embodiment, other materials having waterproof, antifouling, and moisture proof functions may be used.

The upper case 102 is equipped with an LED module 110 composed of LED units 112 and 114 of two colors red and green, and the red LED unit 112 and the green LED unit radially from the vertical direction and the center. 114 is sequentially uniformly distributed and mounted. In another embodiment, the distribution form of the red LED unit 112 and the green LED unit 114 may be slightly different. In addition, it is preferable that the LED units 112 and 114 of two colors of red / green constituting the LED module 110 are all connected in parallel. This is to prevent the lighting of the entire LED module 110 even if a small number of LED units (112, 114) is damaged.

The LED module 110 mounted on the upper case 102 is selectively lit by the control module 120 embedded in the lower case.

The control module 120 is a power input terminal 122 for receiving the available power of the vessel from the power cable 190, a ground fault detecting unit 123 for detecting a leakage current when the power input to the power input terminal 122, A rectifier 124 for rectifying the AC voltage applied from the power input terminal 122 to a DC voltage, and a constant voltage for adjusting the DC voltage applied from the rectifier 124 to an appropriate voltage for turning on the LED module 110. The controller 128 and the controller 126 for selectively controlling the lighting of the LED module 110 by using the appropriate voltage applied from the constant voltage control unit 128.

An AC voltage of 110V or 220V is applied to the power input terminal 122 from the available power supply of the ship. In this case, it is preferable that the electric leakage detecting unit 123 is mounted to the power input terminal 122. If a normal voltage is applied, the AC voltage supplied to the power input terminal 122 is sent to the rectifying unit 124 to provide a DC voltage. If the leakage current flows on the other hand, the ground fault detecting unit 123 detects this and serves to cut off the power input to the LED module.

An AC voltage of 110V or 220V applied to the power input terminal 122 is input to the rectifier 124. The rectifier 124 converts the AC voltage into a DC voltage. And the DC voltage is input to the constant voltage control unit 128 is converted into a suitable voltage suitable for the LED module 110 of the present invention is maintained.

At this time, a signal for the ship's traveling direction is transmitted to the controller 126 from the control panel 180 in the steering room of the ship, the controller 126 processes the signal in accordance with a logic program input in advance to the The LED module 110 is selectively controlled to light up.

Next, in a ship equipped with a ship side light using the LED according to the present invention will be examined in more detail the lighting of the ship side light according to the traveling direction of the vessel.

5 is a conceptual view showing a vessel equipped with a ship side light using the LED according to the present invention. Referring to FIG. 5, when the ship 200 navigates forward, the ship side light mounted on the left side in the forward direction becomes the port side ship side light 100, and the ship side light mounted on the right side. The starboard side ship side light 100 'will be provided.

At this time, the port side ship side light 100 should be lit in red, it should be lit by a left angle (for example, 112.5 degrees) in the horizontal direction from the forward boat. In addition, the starboard side ship side light (100 ′) should be lit in green, and should be lit by a right a angle (eg, 112.5 degrees) in the horizontal direction from the bow line. This angle is the appropriate whistle range visible from the opponent's ship located far away, and the color classification is in accordance with the International Maritime Collision Prevention Regulation.

Such lighting turns on a red LED unit arranged in a corresponding angle (for example, 112.5 degrees) among the LED modules of the port side ship side light 100, and the LED of the starboard side ship side light 100 '. This can be achieved by lighting the green LED units arranged within the corresponding a angle (eg 112.5 degrees) in the module. On the other hand, the operation of the LED module is applied even when the ship reversing.

In the above described the ship side light using the LED according to the present invention. It will be understood that the technical construction of the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without changing to the technical features of the present invention by those skilled in the art.

As described above, the ship side light using the LED of the present invention, by using the LED instead of the conventional incandescent light bulb, it is resistant to impact, long life, can reduce power consumption, reducing maintenance costs and cost competitiveness There is an effect that can be planned.
